All the apps I got for my iPod touch loaded on to my iPad, and they run just fine without paying anything more for any of them.
How would you say they look at the iPad's resolution? Do you think you'll use them full screen or not?
At the same time, Apple has also updated the service site on the iPad. The 98 pages technician guide talked about the device in specific and how to troubleshoot the device and explicitly indicated technicians NOT to disassemble the device.
Therefore, similar to iPod, Apple's ASP will only be offering warranty exchanges rather than on-site repair. I was wondering some time that if the iPad glass can be removed by the suction cups that I use to repair the iMacs.
Something interesting also is that the liquid submersion indicators are inside the heaphone jack and the dock connector. Apple computers like Macbook Pros have those under the keyboard.

Not yet. Read this: "I happen to believe that later this year, Apple will release an update to the iPhone OS that will introduce some form of third-party multitasking that avoids these problems. So I’m confident that in time, at least, this limitation will be lifted.". And yes, that is from the same source!
In an ideal world; like at home... yes. Not in a professional environment, where WiFi isn't even used due to the obvious security risks involved.
Wrong. It has 512 MB of RAM:

And yes, like it or not, at least 1GB should be needed for a good multitasking in future firmware updates.
No it doesn't. It only has 256 MB:
"Decoding the part number shows there is 2Gb of memory inside. This translates into ~128MB of memory per die, for 256 MB total. (NOT 512MB, as we previously reported.)"

Teardown also appears to show that the Li-Ion batteries are bagged in a fire proof material... just in case.
....Also no one has mentioned that elusive front facing camera spot that was supposed to have been found a few weeks ago...?
Re-duex: Ambient Sensor

Yeah, there seems to be a pretty big gap that could be filled by a camera in the future.
I'm sure there's going to be a lot of wailing about the 256 MB RAM, but seems like most owners are emphasizing its speed and smoothness anyway. I wish I could run my own tests, but I'm waiting for the 3G.
Anyone found it to stutter in any situations so far?
My Unboxing Video
Of course, I had to do an unboxing on my channel.

I will have others for the Accessories and 3G model as they come in.
And here is connecting a non-Apple BT keyboard.
